Blair Tushaus Commits to BYU

Arizona prep star, Blair Tushaus, has committed to play for the Cougars in 2010--making a total of 22 for next year's class, the highest rated class ever to sign for BYU. Tushaus is a 3-star lineman playing for Notre Dame Preparatory in Scottsdale. This is an interesting and positive commitment for the Cougars because the heavily recruited center is a non-LDS athlete, further enhancing BYU as a school that can attract top players from all backgrounds. And though he's tearing it up in high school (not this year, though, due to a torn ACL) Tushaus is a lightweight in BYU standards--as his 270 pounds is about fifty pounds less than the 320 average across the Cougars' front line.

Hi Coogs!

Well, I must say recruiting is stepping up at the Y.

I also hear good things about team speed outta your camp—the obvious weakness last year.

Best of luck against Oklahoma, I’m rooting for you (I will wear the kilt for it!) and here’s to two undefeated meeting in November for the MWC championship.
